Warning! Do not attempt to tighten or loosen drill bits
(or any other accessory) by gripping the front part of
the chuck and turning the tool on.
Damage to the chuck and personal injury may occur when
changing accessories.
Trigger switch & forward/reverse button (Fig. H)
The drill is turned ON and OFF by pulling and releasing
the trigger switch (1) shown in figure H. The farther the
trigger is depressed, the higher the speed of the drill.
A forward/reverse control button (2) determines the
rotational direction of the tool and also serves as a lock
off button.
To select forward rotation, release the trigger switch and
depress the forward/reverse control button on the right
side of the tool.
To select reverse, depress the forward/reverse control
button on the left side of the tool.
The center position of the control button locks the tool in
the off position. When changing the position of the control
button, be sure the trigger is released.
Adjusting torque control (Fig. I)
This tool is fitted with a torque adjustment collar (3) to select
the operating mode and to set the torque for tightening
screws. Large screws and hard workpiece materials
require a higher torque setting than small screws and soft
workpiece materials.
For drilling in wood, metal and plastics, set the collar (3) to
the drilling position symbol.
For drilling in light masonry, set the collar (3) to the
hammer drilling position.
For screwdriving, set the collar to the desired setting.
If you do not yet know the appropriate setting, proceed as
follows:
Set the collar to the lowest torque setting.
u
Tighten the first screw.
u
If the clutch ratchets before the desired result is
u
achieved, increase the collar setting and continue
tightening the screw.
Repeat until you reach the correct setting.
u
Use this setting for the remaining screws.
u
Dual range switch (Fig. J)
The dual range feature of your drill allows you to shift gears
for greater versatility.
To select low speed, high torque setting (position1), turn
tool off and permit to stop. Slide gear shifter button (4)
away from the chuck.
To select the high speed, low torque setting (position 2),
turn tool off and
permit to stop. Slide gear shifter
button back toward the chuck.
Note: Do not change gears when tool is running. If you are
having trouble changing gears, make sure that the dual range
gear button is either completely pushed forward or completely
pushed back.

(Original instructions)
Screw driving
For driving fasteners, the forward/reverse button should
be pushed to the left.
Use reverse (button pushed to the right) for removing
fasteners.
Note: When moving from forward to reverse, or vice versa,
always release the trigger switch first.
Drilling
Use sharp drill bits only.
Suppor and secure work properly, as instructed in the
Safety Instructions.
Use appropriate and required safety equipment, as
instructed in the Safety Instructions.
Secure and maintain work area, as instructed in the Safety
Instructions.
Run the drill very slowly, using light pressure, until the hole
is started enough to keep the drill bit from slipping out of it.
Apply pressure in a straight line with the bit. Use enough
pressure to keep the bit biting but not so much as to stall
the motor or deflect the bit.
Hold the drill firmly with two hands, one hand on the
handle, and the other gripping the bottom around the
battery area or the auxiliary handle if provided.
DO NOT CLICK THE TRIGGER OF A STALLED DRILL
OFF AND ON IN AN ATTEMPT TO START IT. DAMAGE
TO THE DRILL CAN RESULT.
Minimize stalling on breakthrough by reducing pressure
and slowly drilling through the last part of the hole.
Keep the motor running while pulling the bit out of a drilled
hole. This will help reduce jamming.
Make sure switch turns drill on and off.
Drilling in wood
Holes in wood can be made with the same twist drill bits used
for metal or with spade bits. These bits should be sharp and
should be pulled out frequently when drilling to clear chips
from the flutes.
Drilling in metal
Use a cutting lubricant when drilling metals. The exceptions
are cast iron and brass which should be drilled dry. The cutting
lubricants that work best are sulphurized cutting oil.
Drilling in masonry
For drilling in masonry, set the collar (3) to the hammer
drilling position by aligning the symbol with the marking. Use
carbide tipped masonry bits. Keep even force on the drill. A
smooth, even flow of dust indicates the proper drilling rate.
LED work light (Fig. H)
When drill is activated by pulling the trigger switch (1), the
integrated LED work light (8)will automatically illuminate the
work area.
Note: The work light is for lighting the immediate work surface
and is not intended to be used as a flashlight.
